03-04 cobra, you could spend the 10k on the 02 and its still have to forge the engine and do other drivetrain work whereas the cobra drivetrain can handle whatever you feel like throwing at it down the road. plus its a terminator

03 Cobra- Intake, Tune, Exhaust, Pulley your at 500whp Less than 1k in Mods. Plus you can find Used stuff for 03/04's everywhere...

Getting a GT to that point will be expensive..(Motor, Fuel system, blower, brakes), throwing a Blower on the GT will not get him where he wants to be... He is use to 460 whp.. Getting the GT there safely will roughly cost 10k....

That is just stuff that the cobra has listed above...

Is this a real question! ....all aside, I'd get the 03/04 Cobra (It will hold its value much better then a GT of the same year) .... But putting a SC on the GT is a nice option as well! Not sure you'd have to put $10k into the GT to go fast....Most 03/04 Cobra's just with a 2.76" upper pulley are making 455-465 rwhp...All up to you!

Or the free option is don't get into the throttle so much when cruizing with your wife. No money spent, no time wasted, and she can keep up.

A) get the Termi

B) Keep GT swap on/in TFS TW heads, a TorkTech IC TVS blower kit, and forged rotating assembly

Both seem like viable options to me.

You're - a contraction of YOU ARE
Your - a possessive adjective, indicating ownership of something
